Our top-drawer Kona Carbon cyclocross racer is the ultimate weapon for tracks from Holland to New Hampshire. This is the frame Kona Team rider Helen Wyman uses to consistently attack the world’s best on the World Cup cyclocross circuit. A great race package at a fantastic value.

JAKE Cyclocross, Commuter

We are proud to introduce the most comprehensive collection of Jakes since we first started making cyclocross bikes in 1994. From UK National Champion Helen Wyman’s winning ways to the best junior development team in North America—Rad Racing, and every type of cross/commuter rider in between. We make a Jake that will help you go faster, farther, no matter where you ride.

INTERNAL HEADSETS

The major benefit of an internal headset, whereby the bearing cups are actually pressed into the frame and are easily removable, is the extra layer of protection it provides the bearings against the elements. An internal headset also reduces stack height, so the height of the stem and bars are more adjustable, giving the rider the best fit possible.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE

More girth at the bottom of the head tube better distributes shock force, prolonging the bearing life of the headset itself and eliminating brake shudder, while providing positive steering performance. The inherent strength of its triangular design also means a stronger steering position and improved balance, giving the rider more control in rough terrain. A zero-stack, tapered head tube also puts strength where the load is going—into the lower headset cup—maximizing bearing durability where it’s needed.
